[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h_22_accord:
I recently flashed Cognition 4 on my buddies captivate and went fine at the time of flashing the device. Wiped data, and then flashed with Clockwork Mod Recovery, but he called me acouple days later and said wifi wasnt working. It turns on and can see available wireless networks but will never connect to one. I tried connecting through wifi with my other buddies Evo 4G and my Inspire 4G and both connected to his network, but the captivate still wont. Anyone else have this problem or maybe its a problem with Cognition 4? Probably gonna have to flash back to stock and reflash cog 4 unless anyone has any ideas?

i wanna use my htc hd2 wp7 with other cellphone company how can unlock to use with telcel from mexico?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DroidFreek:
Was the phone unlocked before you installed wp7 on your device.

I was asking me.. the same question..? if you did not unlock the WM6.5 and you flash android or windows p 7, is it possible to NETWORK unlock your cell? or by changing the OS unlocks ur HD2?:confused:

Same Q: I have HD2 (win 6.5) locked on T mobile Europe but flashed Android now. Any suggestions?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jianC:
Insert a non-t-mobile SIM, reboot your phone, and if a prompt/screen pops up asking to input the unlock number or pin, then that means it is locked. Then, go to ebay and search for the cheapest hd2 code you can find.. and follow the instructions.. lol.. The code should arrive instantly via your e-mail and then input the unlock code and your phone should be unlocked.

Hi, I stuck WP7 on my HD2 to check it out. I have now removed in and gone back to Android. WP7 has partitioned my sd card and I can't remove the partition. I have used windows disk management tool with no result.:confused: any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DroidFreek:
You can use the sd tool or put it in an android phone and reformat it in recovery only things I can think of at the moment

[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
So some programs such as various video players, music players, and specifically Picasa can't seem to see SD card at all. Any way to remedy this?

Also, Picasa's integration seems to be broken as well. Can't upload straight to Picasa from the camera app...
[Atrix 4G General] DroidFreek:
You may have to format your sd card. Just copy the contents to your desktop and format the card then put the contents back on and give it a go. If it does not work post again.
[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
Just tried it. Didn't work :-/

On the captivate there was a folder called something like SDcard-ext. The Atrix has the same folder, except its one level higher...

I'm using powerAMP and PSmobile as benchmark apps. powerAMP oddly sees my music files on the extSD, but I can't pull up the folder structure inside powerAMP. PSmobile doesn't see anything on the SD card (neither does picasa for that matter)

Picasa doesn't let me go up one more folder level to see the SDcard-ext folder
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veggiop:
Since getting the N1 it has always felt slow in connecting to WiFi. I recently got an iPad and it is much faster in connecting, which makes the N1 seem even slower now.

Mine usually takes about 8 seconds and sometimes up to 30 seconds. The iPad connects in 2 seconds.

How long does your N1 take to connect to WiFi?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
Maybe its your kernel problem? What kernel are you using?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phazerorg:
My N1 connects almost immediately (seconds) to my home wifi, using WPA2 PSK (AES).

However, at work we use WPA2 Enterprise (also AES) with EAP/MSCHAPv2 authenticating to a Microsoft RADIUS server. This can sometimes take 30 seconds to a minute or longer... and sometimes it also connects in just seconds.

In general it works pretty quick for me, but I haven't really noticed a pattern when it doesn't. I always assumed it was our WPA2 Enterprise setup that made it take longer, not the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I use WPA2/PSK at home and I also have an iPad. To me it seemed the opposite. My iPad drives me crazy. Hit the Safari icon and it sits there.

Lmao, nothing out of the norm though. I also use WPA2/PSK at work and no problem either. Seems rather quick actually.

Came across this tutorial for preset to convert your HD videos for the Atrix.

[Atrix 4G General] tchamander:
So does anyone think this is weird that dual core has to go through converting software while my galaxy tab and nexus s can run all my ha qualities from jetvd and tubemate without a hitch ....will there be updates that will help with video playback
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
^same outcry from xoom users
[Atrix 4G General] spielnicht:
So far I'm not that impressed with the video playback of the Atrix, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see what the 1080p update brings with it.

Attached is a Handbrake preset that I've tweaked for the Atrix. I tried various settings and these are it.
[Atrix 4G General] scottrleo1:
I keep getting an error

I tried your settings and messing with a bunch of them. I can watch in in VLC on the pc, but no matter what player I use on the atrix I get "file cannot be displayed or played"...any thoughts?
[Atrix 4G General] spielnicht:
Strange. I encoded a DVD movie, BBC Top Gear episodes (from XVID) and a couple of other stuff, all worked perfectly for me.

Under the advanced tab, try setting the reference frames to 0 and slide the Psychovisual Rate Distro slider all the way to the left.
[Atrix 4G General] akoni1p:
Have you try Vital Player? It seems to play almost or a lot of stuff Im throwing it.
[Atrix 4G General] CoriolisSTORM:
Curious, have any of you got a good rip from Ripbot 264? I have a couple of Blu Rays I've converted via MakeMKV, but then I need to run them through something else. These are in a VC1 format and Handbrake doesn't recognize them. Ripbot264 does but I can't get a good file out of it. Any help with the presets? I got a good one the first time, but it cropped out a lot... (my fault on the settings I think) and the 2nd try I set it to make an mkv, another oops as the atrix won't read it.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
Did you change the container to mkv, because the Atrix seems to hate mkv.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
Bit of a bump but anyone had luck with this?

I tried above instructions, also made sure I started off with the 'normal' profile not high profile, still nothing plays. Is this the whole 'tegra2 can't play hi profile x264' thing, if so how do I get handbrake to output baseline?
[Atrix 4G General] ljiminez:
After Blu Ray conversion via MakeMKV I've been running the files through the 'Badaboom 2' transcoder (using the AppleTV preset).

I did have to switch to 'MoboPlayer' because the 'Act 1' video player I was using would not play the AppeTV files.
[Atrix 4G General] zcrugby:
thanks very much
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
After much experimentation I figured out the key is to encode in x264 baseline NOT normal or hi profile.

Basically use the same presets as iphone 3gs in terms of x264 parameters (not resolution etc.) and it will play.

A bit pathetic really since it can push jaw dropping 3D games but not video encoded with a spec that's pretty much mainstream. I'm not even talking about 1080p. Just be nice to be able to drop a typical 720p x264 rip in and play. DIsappointed

hi friends

I am using htc p3400i since last year nowadays from somewhere i got the wing linux option to convert the same system to android but after some process i got the massage on the screen " TSLIB calibration utilities" " touch the crosshair on the screen" but after that i am not able to touch the cross hair so at the last stage i couln't get the proccess finished so if anyone have the solution than do guide me.

thanks in advance

.cab on

SD Card

.During installation dont get your backlight turned off bcoz sometimes i have seen that it corrupts installation.Now run Winglinux from start menu.There is run button and default.txt simply press run button and wait.Then it will ask to allocate disk space dont do anything and wait.wait.....Then angstrom screen will appear.again WAIT.And finally there is touch screen calibrate screen and LoL it is working.

I don't know that why you can't touch crosshair.

Any way try again.Good luck for it.But Android is still not usable on GENE:-(

[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has made a stock theme template for the Shift? All I see are ROMs but I like to mess around with a clean stock deodexed system for a while before I flash a full ROM. I would make one myself but I'm still learning how the update-script/updater-script works. Is there one, or does everyone just flash ROMs around here? Closest I've found is the theme eraser, but that assumes you're already deodexed (no .odex removal script). Any help would be appreciated, links to guides, tutorials, how CWM works, a stock theme template, anything. And thanks in advance.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948566

there ya go
[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
Thank you, but this is a full ROM not a theme template.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Are you looking for the stock framework then?
[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
Basically just the /system/app and /system/framework dirs deodexed. no other changes to the system folder. And a script that removes the odex files. Can that be run with just an update-script, or would it need other things?
[EVO Shift 4G General] teharchitekt:
Just unzip the zip file from the thread foxsdaddy67 linked & you have access to those two deodexed directories.
[EVO Shift 4G General] tambourineman86:
I guess I'm not being clear enough. I'm aware those files are there, what I don't understand is how cwm works. I'm coming from sdx where every rom, theme and mod had the same structure with only an update script in meta-inf. By testing I did find out that just having an update script works though I'm not sure if a script will run. Guess I'll have to test it.

Bottom line is that there is no flashable theme template zip, only roms, but I think I'll be fixing that shortly. :)

[Nexus S General] veggiop:
I'm interested to know everyone's experiences of navigation on the Nexus S.

My experiences are that Google Navigation on the Nexus ONE was faultless. On the Nexus S though I have the following issues:

Weak GPS lock. Either loses satellites completely or not accurate enough at busy junctions where the device may put me on the wrong road, exit etc.

Secondly, the Navigation app freezes completely regularly enough to be a pain.

Third, the GPS fix seems to be impaired when the phone is in a cradle (powered).

This is a real deal breaker for me as I do travel for work and don't want to revert to Tomtom.

So, is this the general experience? Or is my device faulty?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] bogdi1988:
i have had some ****ty experience with the S.... HOWEVER... after this 2.3.3 i am seeing much better/faster GPS lock, and it is on par with the GPS from my old Nexus One... i am even able to get a stable GPS lock indoor at floor 4 in a 6 story building... so i am very impressed with the 2.3.3 update.
[Nexus S General] Worsty:
Same for me. I have not updated to 2.3.3 so i can't tell if the issue has improved.
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
I have used the nav about 7-8 times and its been perfect for me with no faults. I'm in south Florida. Not sure if my location matters
[Nexus S General] mmas0n:
I've been using Navigation while mounted in my car every day since launch day. It has never frozen up and has dropped the sat lock maybe twice.

There were a few days where it could not download a route for any destination, but I was flashing CM7 Nightlies + gapps on a daily basis without wiping. A wipe before the next flash fixed it.

Otherwise flawless.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Same here except I'm in central FL. I've used CM alpha builds and currently using Gcollab builds. Never had an issue. Once it's locked, it's locked.
[Nexus S General] gratti:
I've always used navigation on my nexus one and when I used with the S I was disappointed. It use to took even 10 mins to get a gps lock if I got one at all.

But after 2.3.3 update everything turned around, now I get a full lock with 10 sats in seconds and the navigation it's smooths and flawless.

Aside the weird colors, there's not one bad change after I updated to 2.3.3
[Nexus S General] Xandlinger:
I constantly use my Google Navigate in Anchorage, Alaska and so far it has been nothing short of perfect. Although, any city in Alaska is probably way more simple than a larger city in the lower US.

However, there was one time it told me to take a right turn onto a one-way street, and then it proceeded to tell me to go in circles and my destination will be on the left. Weird.

Only happened once, never happened again.

GPS locks happen incredibly quickly, and I have never lost a lock.

Using CM7 RC1.
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
I had same GPS issues. I haven't really used much on 2.3.3 yet but it does seems a little better.
[Nexus S General] _thomo:
I've found the Nexus S to be quite slow to get a GPS lock.

I sat the Nexus S side by side with my old HTC Hero near a window and the Hero got a lock quickly and Nexus S didn't get one at all.

Tried the Nexus S in the car today and it did get a lock but slowly.

Running Stock 2.3.3 Rooted
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
I use nav almost every weekday and on the days I use it, I use it a lot. Getting a lock on isnt typically an issue. Sometimes it lags, usually it seems like its fast enough. My biggest gripe is that the onscreen position usually lags around 30-50ft behind my actual position on the road.

Also, this doesnt happen often (but regularly enough to be irritating) I will be driving on a route and all of a sudden the navi will think my position is on some other road and will re-route me. Very annoying!!! :mad:

My N1 had perfect nav. What sucked about it was the screen was not big enough, too dim and generally sluggish when moving maps around. The NS corrects all those things but now the nav is kinda sucky :(
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
7/8 visible satellites locked, indoors, with 10m accuracy, with wifi off in less than 15 seconds here just now. This was with the GPS Status app. I did notice it downloaded almanac data over 3G as soon as I started it up, so that's a bit of an assist for a lock from just a cold start.

GPS never been much of an issue on the Nexus S for me. The Galaxy S i9000 and Vibrant, that's another story.
[Nexus S General] Teknojunkee:
I also have never had a problem with the GPS. I use it regularly for work and have never encountered any of the things mentioned. Could be an area issue?
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
I wish it was an area issue... but never had a problem with my N1
[Nexus S General] mastiff78:
My Nexus S running the 2.3.3 OS takes very long to get a GPS lock, and at times I would reach my destination before it even get a fix.

I wonder if my phone is at fault here or some kind of bug.

I am thinking of calling the tech support to see if they can offer some help.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
mine works immediately as i turn on the car, in all kind of nasty weather

99.999999999% accurate
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Wonder if getting a Bluetooth GPS reciever would help
[Nexus S General] tuck2:
Using a Nexus S with Android 2.3.3:

my GPS does get a fix but loses the fix quite often! Compared to my old htc tattoo phone, the gps on my nexus s is not working well.

While navigating in my car, the htc never loses the gps fix while the gps of my nexus goes on and off... :-( The weird thing is that both phones have almost identical signal-to-noise ratios (per satellite) but the nexus simply does not get a fix while the htc has no problems...

I have to say, I am really disappointed regarding the gps performance of the nexus s!
[Nexus S General] Andy6446:
sorry to hear that guys,

maybe I'm a bit more lucky in this but I'm very happy with the navigation on my SNS.

I have recently upgraded my i9020 to 2.3.3 stock rom (was running stock 2.3.1 also without any problems) and my navigation works perfect. I'm even surprised about the accuracy of this device. This one brings me up to a few meters accurate to required destination. I didn't belive this myself as phone nav cannot realy compare with the "real" TomTom's or Garmins.

Actually, the whole phone works perfect (wifi and 3G as wel) and hopefully I will keep it this way.

greetz

BTW. Since GPS problems on my previous phone (i5800 Galaxy3) I use a GPS Booster Lite from Octy. Maybe this is the trick. I'd say, try it, dosn't cost anything.
[Nexus S General] royalsego:
Nexus S 2.3.2 here

Whenever I enter downtown Houston, my nav completely fails, no GPS, nada

and it's terribly frustrating because I hate navigating downtown Houston

I may just go 2.3.3 to see if it's better... won't hold my breath
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
I don't think is android is most likely Sammy's fault for some reason all Sammy's phone I have use they have bad GPS and idk y , just like the moment and the epic, might have to stick with HTC on this one
[Nexus S General] Rshaokh:
On 2.3.3 here. The gps is really random for me. 70% of the time, the Google Navigation app will find my location and directions within 2-5secs. The other 30% of the time, the gps refuses to lock onto my location. I've driven maybe 25+ miles and it still couldn't get a lock. This was during a clear day too. The gps is great when it works, but when it doesn't, it fails hard. I use the Nexus S as my main gps but I still have to keep the Garmin in my car as backup... My Nokia N8 would always get a lock within 5-10secs (didn't matter if it was cloudy or clear). Only problem is that Ovi maps sucks...
[Nexus S General] Aria807:
I would say my Nexus S has accuracy issues as far as gps goes. It seems to always think I am a block or so away from my actual location. It's worse when I am at work downtown where there are lots of buildings. But at home, I'm at a pretty open residential area where I don't see why there would be any issues getting a good accurate lock.
[Nexus S General] j0hnZ:
Mine does that, when I'm not moving it jumps to a different location and then when I start moving it will eventually wander back onto the road. My Vibrant does the same thing on Froyo...thankfully I don't use GPS that often, and I'm use to it so I look ahead to the next direction.
[Nexus S General] tommyz2kool:
I really *hate* when that happens. That's like the worst thing gps nav can do to you :mad:
[Nexus S General] kramer987:
use Radio KB3. incredibly fast data and gps lock.
[Nexus S General] [hfm]:
I have to chime in on this one. Samsung gps is horrid. Also, since I can't get a lock in my bldg (midtown) I turned off gps and decided to just use cell network/wifi, I can get decent approximation in maps. But I can reload the stock weather app 10 times in a row and get wild results. Weehawken, union city, new york. This never happened with ant htc phones.

Samsung really needs to get a handle on their poor location performance.
[Nexus S General] kresk:
For one reason or another I had 5 different NS. Out of the five, three of them worked perfectly in terms of the GPS. Two of them had some glitches. On one, it would sometimes flash to a street that I wasn't on. On the other one, whenever I used headphones the voice would always be a little behind. The audio would go back to normal when I took them out. In general those two just didn't seem as stable. The other 3 worked amazing, they locked on really fast and rarely/if ever lost signal. Thankfully the one I have now works well. This was probably suggested but force stopping/clearing data might help.

Hi Team recently grabbed one of these as an upgrade from my old Huawei phone that i smashed.

Some questions i was keen to know...(before the fone arrives)

If it comes with 2.2.1 will i have to downgrade to install a custom rom? or can most custom roms work with 2.2.1, i searched for some info but no dice sorry :(

I will most prob use Z4 to root (if it supports 2.2.1) else ill use SuperOneClick??

ROM CHOICE...

Seems where pretty spoilt here, my old fone had maybe 4 custom roms, i dont know where to start here! :D

Megatron seems to be what ive read most people running, im looking for a slight speed increase, bloatware removal, and optimized battery life, am i looking at the right rom for my needs?

Anyone who can spit me off some answers... Thank You :)
